J. As to lie eadOT5 meat OF President
Cleveland and The celebration which TIE
DenCcr2tic address makes, that his 81
miniStratiOn Will receive cordial support
from the Democratic party CT V!rgilia. /!
this statement IS sincere, then the sue
ceedjng statements, demanding the imIle-
dimate repeal Ct the internal revenue
system and the passage Of the Blair bill
must be iDSinCere, fer the opposition Of
President Cleveland to the one ana lack
OF his endorsement Of the other Of these
measures is too well known tC 81 men.
HIS formal anG express approval OF Sec
Tetary M2rning's views and recommends
tlous upon the subject Of taxation and
T&Venue is conclusive upon this question.
ISecIetary Manning not Only deprecatss

> As t. the inter1sI revenue system,
the EJn0.ke pl4tform seeks to create the
impression among the people that the
Democratic psr,y favor the i'm
mediate repeal II that system. It
may De that the Democratic managers
who .prOnC gated mat platform wish the
repeal Of the internal revenue system
from motives OF self Preservation, Uu.
Waen they .iormsiiy declare t1r the reDeaI
OF The system IS rsr. Of the Demo
cratic faith, it is apparent they are guilty
Of al effort to deceive Tue voters OF THIS
commonwealth. That system is held by
the Democratic marty as e hostage TO
compel the overthrow # the Republican
policy OF protection 10 American labor
Ropoake platform Know iull well that the
nationa! Democracy opposes that repea,
and that tae few Democrats in accord
with this declaration Of the R0noake
platform are in the hopeless minority 10
the Democratic party. The national
Democratic platform upon which Presi-
dent Cleveland Tss elected il - prom
issd no repeal OF internal revenue, but
pledged the party to the continuance of
it snd their application to me payment Ct
pensions. The national Democratic plan
Of reducing the tariff embraces
the continuance OF these
taxes. In every message
President Cleveland hiss ignored any sug-
gestion Of the repeal Of the internal rev
enue system, and the repeated efJrts Of
the small minority of Democrats VINO
seek its repeal. The Democratic majority
Of the Forty-ninth Congress, speaking
through its committee on ways ana
means, speaking for an overwhelming
msjority Of the Democratic psr.y, speak
ing in full accord with the visws Of Pres
ident Cleveland, hiss given the following
unmistakable response on behalf of the
Democratic party: On July 10, 1885, in
the House OF representatives ot the
United States, N-. Nccc.sva, ! .laai12
